No controlling it directly didn't work for the same reason. The BP doesn't "switch" the connection/load on and off. It just reduces the voltage, so there is a still a path... My remote switch for inverter is either on or off, so if that line doesn't go completely dead, it still registers as on.Which SSR are you using?
You had mentioned controlling the inverter directly from the battery protect, did that not work out?
The ssr I got (unfortunately not a top quality one, I am limited to what I can order here in the time I have) is rated from 3v to 32v. The BP reduces the voltage to 2 to 2.5/2.7. so at the high end of that (2.7) it seems to engage the ssr. I am going to get a 24v automotive relay tomorrow and use that for now... At least it will register "off" when the BP goes to the approx 2.5v.
I saw on another thread you were on that a poster saw the same residual voltage on the BP. And on the victron forum someone posted the same question with the same issue but it was never answered. Either these are all faulty units, or its the nature of the BP. Perhaps someone could test that?
